Level 4: AdvancedPower Maneuver

The Roundhouse Cutback 🎱

An extension of the standard cutback, the roundhouse is a full figure-8 maneuver where you carve all the way back to the foam and rebound off it with power.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

1
Deep Carve

Initiate a standard cutback but hold the rail longer and harder. Your goal is to turn 180 degrees back towards the breaking wave.

2
Target the Foam

Look for the whitewater or the curling lip. You want to hit it high and with speed. Don't turn short!

3
The Rebound

As you hit the foam, bank off it like a berm. Transfer your weight aggressively back to your inside rail to snap the board around.

4
Exit with Speed

The rebound should propel you forward with renewed speed. Flow straight into your next bottom turn.

💡 Pro Tips

  • Hold the rail! If you let go, you'll slide out.
  • Open your chest completely to the wave during the carve.
  • The rebound is the most explosive part—give it everything.
